The state of Mother’s Health in Andhra Pradesh
   

This study looks at maternal health and its determinants in different regions of Andhra Pradesh, India using available secondary sources of data. Different Indicators to represent maternal health and socio-economic status of the mother have been estimated. Finally a mother’s index is calculated using different indicators. The mother’s index brought out the existing regional heterogeneity in the state. However, the study could not conclusively determine on the factors determining maternal health across different regions of the state. Both socio-economic status and health availability turned out to be uncorrelated with maternal health outcomes.  The study also brought out the major issues on maternal health in the state and the existing data gap.

 

The study is completed by June 2001 and the full report was enclosed with the first year progress report.
